(522 posts)This is not a city. Hammond is an unincorporated community, population 157. The entire county is listed at 1,174.
Try again.

(4,460 posts)Where is Birmingham, AL? The city proper is pretty blue, while the surrounding municipalities are red. However, they're all clumped into the SMSA. Our congress woman is Dem, as are our city gov't officials.
And the nickname for Asheville, NC is "San Francisco of the South."
ETA: New Orleans?

(86,569 posts)the capitol, if you will, of the Shoshoni's Wind River Indian Reservation... but they are pretty progressive.

(11,009 posts)Looked it up, it's pop. 600, an old mining town in the middle of nowhere. Tucson, Flagstaff, Bisbee and Jerome are almost certainly more liberal.

(3,813 posts)Bentley is a post office and a general store. That's literally all there is to it. Pointe a la Hache is for all practical purposes a ghost town, with a few dozen people at most living there. I don't know where they are coming up with the data for this survey.

(365 posts)Gary is not a socially liberal city at all. Highly democratic, but not liberal one bit. Madison has become the bastion of liberalism in the Midwest. Ann Arbor still is to a point, but corporations have ruined it. Minneapolis is somewhat liberal. And Chicago has small pockets of liberalism.
